Startup veteran Anthony Franco founded the company in 2015 to empower people to collaborate and communicate more efficiently, and to reduce the environmental impact of traditional office stationery (ie. sticky notes, planners). M.C. Squares Planners are dry-erase, adhesive-free stickers that can be reused up to 2,000 times; a replacement for wasteful paper planners. The startup appeared on ABC’s Shark Tank in 2020. Kevin O’Leary acquired an 11% stake in the firm by investing $50,000 (he initially wanted 25% for $300k), and helped mcSquares launch a crowdfunding campaign that raised $500,000. Here's an inside look into the deck mcSquares used to raise funding that year. According to the deck, the company earned $2.1M in 2020, up 4× from the year prior. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Dec 22, 2023, reporting $5.7M in net operating losses and $3.34M owed to creditors including Denver Angels and Kevin O'Leary.
